Sorry, I just like to brag about that every now and then.

Enter to select.

Space to Play/Pause.

I have to send a stop media command to stop.

Anyone figure out how to go back a page? The only way I can find to do this is to hit the <-- button in the top left with my mouse.

That arrow key navigation works for some things, but as soon as you go to a movie page, you're stuck, because the giant movie poster that is the play button isn't selectable with the remote. It does work mostly for TV series, though you might get stuck there too.

Changing a TV show season is also difficult. I think maybe you can change it by hitting tab a bunch of times to get to the selector.

It does not work regardless how many times you hit the tab key.

The app is designed for touch screen or with a mouse/touchpad. No other way around it.

Recently my Media Center remote started working in the Win8 Netflix app for playback controls.... it wasn't originally.

Honestly though I now wish Gyration was still putting out their Media Center remotes, they would work beautifully for Win8 and associated apps frown.gif

mainly getting in this thread to sub

Works for playback but not navigation?

yes, just playback. pissed me off a bit when I started using the Netflix app because I couldn't play pause and etc with a remote.... after time it started working with an update.

navigation.... no doesn't work. well...doesn't work fully. I can use the arrows to go around but not to the side menu to skip to a genre or new releases etc... I can only navigate on the main screen somewhat.
